	Actors - Changes

Changes was a single by David Bowie, taken from the album Hunky Dory
. Despite missing the top 40 when issued as a single, "Changes" is one of Bowie’s best-known songs. The lyric is often seen as a manifesto for Bowie and his chameleonic personality throughout the 1970s, and his frequent reinventions of his musical style.
